VII. Procedures

A. ENGAGE Let the students recall the different types of seismic waves particularly the body waves (Primary and
Secondary waves).

Show pictures and let the students identify and name the pictures. * volcanoes, mountains

What do you think is the relationship among the locations of volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and
mountain ranges?

B. EXPLORE Introduce Activity 2 “Find the Center” which will allow the students to use the triangulation method in
locating the epicenter of a hypothetical earthquake.
Objective: Locate the epicenter of an earthquake using the triangulation method.
Materials: hypothetical records of earthquake waves , Philippine map
Instruct the students to follow the procedures in the activity sheet.

C. EXPLAIN Discuss the result of the activity

Q1. Where is the epicenter of this hypothetical earthquake?
Q2. What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording stations?
Q3. What is the distance of the epicenter from the seismic station?
Q4. What do you think is the importance of determining the epicenter of an earthquake
D. ELABORATE What do you think will happen if earthquake epicenters were not identified?
E. EVALUATION Let the students complete the statements.
